Phone Trouble

[Russell]

Caseydoug or Russell,

Have either of you had these types of problems lately? If not, what was the fix?

I randomly started having this issue about 4 weeks ago on inbound calls only. It seems to be happening only on inbound Voipo to Voipo calls for me. The caller goes straight to voicemail, but my phones ring anyway (dead air when answered). I've had no issues for over a year until lately. All required ports are forwarded. Thanks

I ended reluctantly forwarding ports (never had to do with the same hardware and other providers - hence reluctantly). Every once in a while I'll have a unanswerable call, but this is VERY occasional. But I don't believe I have any VOIPo to VOIPo calls, which is where you say you're experiencing issues.

Thanks. Were you connected to Dallas when this happened? If so, are you still connected to Central (Dallas) or East (DC)? The problem started right after they had problems at Dallas a few weeks ago. I'm a BYOD user and will consider connecting to the DC or LAX SIP servers just to see if the problem goes away even if it means increased latency.
